Funny how cultural fascists can't see what they are doing as Fascism.
r
What is context? (asking for a friend)
e
Dilbert for example offended some people but entertained others. Now instead of just ignoring what offends you, PEOPLE go out of their way to lobby, pass laws and cut business adventures in the name of their political beliefs. So a select few applied political pressure to Fire Scott Adams as Scott at times posts other cartoons that are of political nature on his blog and social media. When any of those "Sum of people" are or have ties to political/governmental groups to change the corporate world, it is by the very definition FACISM. . We can go on and on about examples, such as I am not to travel to anywhere the UK touches (UK, NZ, AU) as I made some very public statements about the stupidity of racial identity and equality laws in films. If you're not sure what this is, Anything produced by a UK-based film group must have an ethnic quota so everyone can feel "included", even if it's revisionist history and completely underlies the fact, it's a LIE. My very public epic rant against the PM at the time was against an actor of all things, who played a stupid lackey character for the main character in the Black Adder series. You see, in the UK, even on social media, you can not post racial epitaphs against anyone unless of course, they are the original indigenous populace then it's all fun and games. It's not that you should, its that their main ISPs actually are charged with the Horrible task of being Net Nazis and filtering content to make sure it's not offense to the delicate eyes and minds of the police as my god, any challenge to anything that is NOT popular at the moment - is after all, should or will be eventually ruled "socially offense" and words or thoughts transmitted via any medium MUST BE SCRUBBED. We can go on to more examples, but needless to say, cultural fascism is real, its stupid and breeds stupidity as if anything, any item that offends forces one to think.

Actually, this was more timely. Scott Adams went on a odd, most would say racist, tirade in a video recently. I'm not advocating any action either way, but his career is pretty much over now because of it. Search the news for Scott Adams and you'll see what I mean.

IDC, I like Dilbert, did it change the content or works of Dilbert? What if 20 years from now We found out the Actor who played Captain Picard did something We find normal now but is offensive in the future. Should we destroy all the works where we find him acting, starting with a bit part on DR Who? No, all knowledge, even that which is offensive, IS HISTORY and should be preserved for the sake of HISTORY and the cultural value of it being part of the culture imprint at the time. Just like Red Foxx, who is an admitted racist, Hollywood, and the media didn't demand they cancel the films he was shooting. IDC, letting him be a racist pos doesn't mean I want anything he has done destroyed because someone has an opinion.

I am sure someone, somewhere will somehow be offended by it. I on the other hand will find a KFC..
b
Is there bacon on it?

Anyone near me about 20 minutes after I eat it will be offended. As will my health insurance. But I say, FIE! FIE ON THEE! Bring forth the accursed meal so that I may bathe within its glory!

Bacon is the candy of meat.
m
unpopular opinion: pepperoni > bacon
b
Why choose? Have them both!
e
Naw, there is no wrong way..to eat food
unless of course its screaming, then you didnt cook it enough.
m
My favorite pizza is mini pepperoni with hot honey. It is essentially a cardiac arrest in a box. Sometimes I'll add a little pineapple, just to be a scamp. Or pesto (but never both, I made that mistake ONCE).

hot crispy pepperoni > hot crispy bacon. But cold bacon > cold pepperoni.
m
I should also point out, I am mostly vegetarian and dairy free (long story) so if and when I actually eat this, the suffering on the other side is epic.
BUT. SO. WORTH. IT.

have you ever tried green olives and pepperoni pizza?
m
Yeah, its funny, I am just not a fan of olives. I am not sure why.
Like, I SHOULD like them.
But they just kind of... I dunno, taste "off" to me? My wife loves them, so I do try them occasionally.
e
I like all the components of pizza, but not the pizza itself.

m
I'm like that with mayo
HATE mayo.
But like, I eat all the components
Something about the combination though.
h
The olives have to be sliced thin, otherwise they over power.

Now pasta, love it.
h
Penne and jalapenos, mmmm
e
pesto, penne, jalapenos (added after the pesto and penne has cooked) then freshly cooked chicken or left over honey baked ham.

I used to make a green olive soup that I really liked but my wife doesn't like green olives so I've never made it for her.

Eventually, you will reach a point in your relationship where you can eat separately and it won't matter. Now how you end up there, that's different for most..
m
You know, in hindsight, I did have a olive and beef dish a while back that was good. It might also have had raisins. It was like a sweet, salty, beefy thing. I do remember wuite liking.

& Divorce. that happens

Joining late to the party (as usual)... What THE!?! No more Dilbert? Because Scott Adams said something in public that offended someone? That's just crazy. And dumb. Maybe he will start a Patreon... πŸ˜‰

I've often pondered a quest for the world's best bacon. Do you think it would interest anyone? πŸ₯“

Brian, I'm in. Steve, my pineapple brings all the boys to the yard. And they're like, this is so gross. πŸ˜‚
